It was a mistake but think about how many times Girardi has saved goals. The guy’s solid. It was a high pressure situation; it happens to the best of em.

Justin Williams was traded 10 years by Bobby Clarke, who hated youth. It was terrible trade… I mean Danny Markov straight up for a talented player in his early 20s? Idiotic. But we didn’t give him to the Kings. Carter went to Columbus where he pouted and did nothing. And the Flyers got Couturier and Voracek, two players on the upswing, for him. That’s a clear win for Philly in that trade. Mike Richards was the only one traded directly to LA and he’s a solid heart and soul type but he’s also had a precipitous decline offensively. And he’s locked in to a long term contract. Brayden Schenn will never be a special player but he is just 22 and coming off a 20-goal season. The guy’s gonna be a 20-25 scorer most of his career. And what else can you say about Simmonds? The guy is a great leader and produces offensively.

So yeah I’d much rather have a Stanley Cup or two but people need to stop acting as if the Kings somehow fleeced the Flyers. There are former Flyers all over the league, it’s the nature of the business.

When this topic was brought up on the NHLN last week, Brad Richards’ name was also mentioned. Can’t remember the commentator’s name; but, his first remark was that talk of trading, buying out, etc. of these two was disrespectful. Both are on SCF teams right now. While I agree with the disrespectful remark, it’s difficult to justify a fourth-liner making $5.75 million (MR).

Seriously thought, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Kings let Richards go next year. His lack of speed is more and more apparent, and it may be the reason they let him go.
